1. Tom not only taught, but he also wrote novels to earn a living.
这里的 to earn a living是整个并列句的目的状语,还是but he also wrote novels这个分句的目的状语?
【答】应该是:Tom not only taught, but also wrote novels to earn a living.这里的not only 和 but also 连接两个并列的谓语; to earn a living 是动词不定式短语作目的状语。
2. Although tom is too ill to live alone, he is a headstrong man and refuse to move into the nursery room.
【答】这里没有并列句,而是一个主从复合句:Although tom is too ill to live alone是让步状语从句, he is a headstrong man and refuse to move into the nursery room 是主句。
